The Rt. Rev. James Waggoner has written to the Diocese of Spokane stating that while Washington State voters may have endorsed same-sex marriage, the diocese had not yet done so – but would do so soon.

In a statement released on 15 Nov 2012, Bishop Waggoner said that “some are asking whether the blessing of a same-sex marriage will be allowed in Washington churches in the Diocese of Spokane” in the wake of Referendum 74.”
